OBE MA LittD FSA 1922-2010 |

It
is with great regret that we report the death on 21
February of our senior Vice President, Claude Blair, at the
age of 87 in Epsom Hospital after a short illness.
Academically he was a giant, making major contributions to
our knowledge of armour, military monuments and metalwork
generally. He, together with the late Nick Norman and a
small group of others, were directly responsible for the
establishment of the CMS and he was our President from
1979-1984. His passing will be a huge loss to the Society
and to scholarship generally. A full appreciation will
appear in Vol. 25 of Church Monuments. |

The
funeral of Claude Blair will be held on Thursday 11
March, at 2 pm, in the church of St Sepulchre Newgate in the
City of London. Light refreshments will be provided
afterwards in Cutlers' Hall, which is near at hand in
Warwick Lane. No flowers please. |
